14 <br /> J <br /> 3.1.1 DESIGN RULES: <br /> Rule#1: Design all wall runs to the foot using odd numbers: e.g.: 5', 15', 17', 33' long <br /> walls. Even for bumpouts USE odd numbers to the foot. <br /> Rule#2: Layout all openings on a one foot increment from the corners of each wall <br /> run. <br /> Rule#3: Design all openings using a 12" increment horizontally and 8" increment <br /> vertically. (exception are standard door rough openings which are typically not <br /> in the 12"x 8" increment. <br /> Rule#4: Use Faswall as the rough opening for the attachment of windows and doors in <br /> lieu of installing permanent wood framework at each opening. <br /> Following these simple instructions will result in: "Si <br /> • Least amount of waste of product. <br /> • Very little, if any,permanent lumber. <br /> • Fastest installation(far less cutting of block). <br /> • Perfect alignment of the wall forms insuring straight,plumb walls with no <br /> compromise of the structural concrete infill. <br /> 3.1.2 Procedure <br /> Design wall runs to the odd foot in dimension Layout the rough openings in the wall runs so <br /> that they fall on l' increments from the corners. It is good practice to layout the openings from <br /> each corner working towards the middle since the wall forms "grow"by a small amount as they <br /> are laid out end-to-end (approximately 3/4"every 20'). Rough openings shall be designed using <br /> a I' module horizontally and an 8"module vertically. This results in openings being 1'-0'; 2'- <br /> 0", 3'-0", etc. in width and 16", 24", 32", 40" etc in height. And finally,use Faswall for the <br /> rough opening for window attachment thereby eliminating the use of permanent wooden frames. <br /> Use `masonry' style windows that are fastened through the side frame into the walls. <br /> ShelterWorks General Application and Technical Information(GATT)version 2.5 <br />
